Algray Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I had to sell my k7 gsxr 600 to fund a house 3 months ago after only having it for 6 months But now managed to pick myself a 1998 bandit for £400. It hadn't moved for 3 years. It was serviced and put in the garage under a cover and when we came along and pull it out the breaks weren't seized rolled freely, fork seals didn't burst and All I did was put fresh fuel in and battery and started right up. Going for mot next week so wish me luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't wait 1 month after moving in and got a good loan through my work to purchase a used XJR1300.Good luck with the bandit, sounds like a good find!

We were fortunate in that a few months before that inherited some money we could use for a deposit, just meant we had to find somewhere a lot quicker than we wanted to and top up the deposit with the sale of the bike.

That's rough but at least it all worked out for you. I was living with my girlfriend's parents and just needed out. It was really nice of them to let me move in but it wasn't easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I really don't get is we are paying 50% less than our previous rent now that we have a mortgage and we still have no money! Life is odd at times!
